Me and Lu got home late last night, he was out pretty fast. But I couldn't sleep, nor could azzie.
She couldn't find me so she made her way to my office where I had been working on some paperwork.

Sat in my lap, she points at the paper.
"Wait but, how do you know how much money it'll cost if it doesn't say it on the file?" She asks.
"Well it says here, we're paying for 10 feet of garden fences, and each foot is 43 dollars, so just multiply those numbers,"
"I don't know how to multiply.."
"Well you are only six, 10 times 43 is 430. The budget on the garden is 1000. So, we have the budget to purchase the fences." I explain.
"So then you can sign it?"
I nod.
"Who needs sleep," she giggles a bit.
"Well growing girls do, but we don't have to tell your papa, just this once though,"
She smiles.
"So you have the budget- but how do you keep track of all the budgets!"
"I have our funds written down," I answer, grabbing a paper.
"Thats a lot of numbers.."
"Yep, how much is the lobby budget?" I ask her,
She grabs the paper, reading down the list.
"Oh! 1500 dollars!" She answers,
I nod.
"What about the library?"
She looks back down, reading the list.
"Wait a minute, what library!"
I chuckle a bit,
"Thats evil!"
I grab hold of her, standing up,
"I'm evil, get used to it!"
I tickle her, she wiggles in my arms as she laughs.
She spends quite a bit of time in here with me.
Usually it's not at bed time but whats one night.
"Daddy!!" She yells, giggling.
I stop tickling her and she takes a deep breath.
"Evil!" She repeats.
I smile, setting her down.
"What can I say, I am the radio demon."
"Radios good! You're just a demon!"
I chuckle, walking over to turn on my radio.
"Maybe so."
Light jazz plays over the radio,
"What song is that?"
I listen for a moment, "ah, love is the sweetest thing,"
"It's good"
I nod.
"Very catchy. Wasn't my jam when I was alive though,"
"Why not?"
I walk back to my chair and she climbs into my lap.
"I wasn't a lover, not until Lu came to earth. And then I died and his memory was wiped. So even then I didn't love anyone."
"Why not..?"
"Well- that's a story for another time my dear,"
She tilts her head,
"Hmm."
She lays against my chest, yawning a bit.
"This song really is catchy.."
I run my hand through her blonde hair,
"It is, isn't it."
Her breathes become heavier as she drift to sleep.
